'Elvis Last Tours Vol.2' In-depth FTD Review: FTD's 3-CD 5”digipak 'Elvis: The Last Tours Volume 2' features recordings from six Elvis performances in March 1977, Norman OK March 25 & 26 , Abilene Tx March 27, Austin Tx March 28 and Alexandria LA March 29 & 30.
By 1977 Elvis was running on low, his set-list had become stagnant and fans were lucky to hear Elvis perform any rare song in his predictable set-list.
Elvis was not in good health, had been rowing with girlfriend Ginger Alden and the last four dates of this second tour of 1977 had to be cancelled.
So one has to ask how much do you enjoy Elvis’ performances in 1977? Five of these soundboards have never been released before and it is Elvis’ Abilene concert that is the real highlight.
Of course, if you are a collector who appreciates Elvis in 1977 then this set might be perfect for your collection.
Elvis soundboard super-collector Geoffrey McDonnell along with EIN's Piers Beagley explore this new six concert pack in-depth to see what fans might discover..

'Live In Memphis 1976' New PD Release: Make of this what you will.... The "Homespun" label have announced a double-cd Elvis Presley 'Live In Memphis 1976'.
... Glitz, nostalgia, and deep emotional resonance - Elvis' last show at the Memphis Coliseum was a whirlwind rendition of the icon's hits and testament to just how important a musical icon he is. Still an unmatched showman, there were signs of his declining health, which provided a poignant undertone to the performance. Elvis's voice remained a powerful and emotive instrument, capable of stirring the crowd either through his raw energy or tender emotion.
Homespun brings you this WCBS-FM live radio broadcast of his show at Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, Tennessee on July 5th 1976 for your listening pleasure.
Release Date: 7 February 2025
EIN Note: The concert was released on the FTD 'Elvis: From Louisiana and Memphis' in 2023.
It was never broadcast on New York's WCBS-FM, the label is only pretending this is "Public Domain"
The photo is nothing to do with Elvis in July 1976
You can pre-order in the UK for £12.99

MRS CAMDEN ‘Made in Germany – Private Recordings’ Review: From the budget MRS Camden label this CD features personal recordings taken from a recently discovered tape made by Elvis while stationed with the US army in Germany in January 1959.
What is so fascinating about this period is that, although The Colonel stopped Elvis recording anything professionally in Germany, Elvis was still bursting with music. Elvis was jamming at home on multiple songs that he would later record professionally for RCA. These original jams on songs such as ‘His Hand In Mine’, ‘Like A Baby’, ’I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen’, ‘I Will Be True’, ‘Danny Boy’, ‘The Fool’ even an attempt at ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ plus ‘There’s No Tomorrow’ are totally enthralling.
Historians always talk about Elvis vast knowledge of every musical genre and here is proof of his influences.
A lot of fans, including myself, would truly appreciate a “Best Of” these home-recordings and just in time for Christmas 2024 the budget label ‘MRS Camden’ have done exactly that.
EIN's Piers Beagley checks out this new budget release just in time for Christmas.... - Buy it TODAY for Christmas!

'From ELVIS At Christmas' MRS 'STEREO' Album Review: The cover of Elvis' original 1957 Christmas album was truly disappointing as it always looked like RCA wanted to keep Elvis’ image as small as possible. Elvis’ 1971 Christmas album was an even worse design.
For their new album 'From ELVIS At Christmas' the MRS label have finally created a cover worthy of Elvis - and it is a stunner.
Elvis albums are all about the tactile feel and this vinyl features a super-impressive snow-glitter colour. It even sparkles as it spins...
And the real treat here is that MRS present Elvis’ Christmas album in gorgeous STEREO - and “boy mah-boy” does it sound superb.
From the very first seconds of ‘Santa Claus Is Back In Town’ when The Jordanaires sing “Christmas, Christmas” on the right channel, Dudley Brooks piano kicks in left and then DJ Fontana’s drums burst on the centre channel with Elvis singing, “Wellllllll, it’s Christmas time pretty baby and the snow is falling on the ground...” you know this is going to be a sensational ride.
Join EIN's Piers Beagley as he spins glorious vinyl and digs deep..

CD Review 'The Joan Deary Tapes Vol1' - and has Ernst won the war?’: Two years ago EIN posted an article suggesting that the Elvis bootleg era was over, that FTD and Ernst Jorgensen had truly won the war.
So it was a surprise to many that a new bootleg label ‘Joan Deary Inc’ suddenly popped up two months ago promising a very similar series of releases to the Madison ‘A Legendary Performer’ set.
They promised "Unique content... with never issued before outtakes. Some very different mixes among other glorious sounding tracks. Every track comes in great sound quality and has been remastered for optimal listening pleasure..."
EIN was suspicious from the start - to be honest I saw no need to purchase this CD - but several EIN readers wanted to know more before they put down their hard earned cash.
Go here as EIN's Piers Beagley investigates to see if there is life in this new series of Elvis bootleg releases...
Please read this before ordering ... we've done the work so that you don't have to!
